Transportation of motorcycles is an activity which may prove to be overwhelming if you are to do it using your own resources. It also involves a lot of tasks which require resources which you may not easily have and tasks which should be done with expertise. Therefore, some situations require you to hire motorcycle shipping services from a professional mover. These include:

Transporting a faulty bike to the garage.

Shipping a bike to the La Porte address to which the owner is relocating.

Delivering a purchased bike to the buyer.

Transporting a salvaged bike.

Our motorcycle shipping methods

The following are the motorcycle shipping methods that we avail:

Road transport, which is an affordable way to ship bikes to various locations. It is the most common method of shipping since most locations are accessible via road.

Rail transport, which is a convenient method of inland shipping since there are no delays or congestion when the bike is being transported.

Water transport, which is the most economic shipping option for shipping bikes overseas.

Air transport, which is the most expensive shipping option but it offers the quickest delivery option.

Preparing a motorcycle for shipping

Preparing a motorcycle for shipping is an important task since this ensures that the bike will be in good condition and that safety precautions will be taken. The following are the motorcycle preparation tasks to be done as you prepare your motorbike for shipping:

Check the level of the fluids.

Ensure that the level of the gas is at a maximum of a quarter of the tank capacity.

Disable the alarm system.

Check the engine.

Ensure that the tires are well-inflated.

Disconnect the battery and drain the fluids, if you are shipping the bike in a crate.

Inspect the bike and take good photos of it from different angles.

Secure the fragile bike parts by detaching and then shipping them separately.
